Drive-Through Light Show and Town Square

Drive-through Light Show and Christmas Town Square

DUE TO THE PROVINCIAL LOCKDOWN WE WILL BE SHUTTING DOWN OUR FARM ON DECEMBER 23RD.

With more than 30 years designing some of Ottawa’s most amazing experiences, our team spent this past summer producing a brand new attraction, the Drive-Through Light Show and Christmas Town Square.

Load up your family and take a whimsical 2km drive through our beautiful, 180-year-old family Farm and magical forest. Join Mazey, our young sapling host as she explores the Farm in search of her own Christmas star. 

After the Drive-Through Light Show, we invite you to visit our beautiful Christmas Town Square with Bonfires, our Christmas Tree lot, Farm Shop gift shop, Mulled wine, Craft beers, hot drinks, seasonal treats and
Beavertails for purchase by a bonfires.
We are also accepting donations for local food banks, so please bring a non-perishable food item if you can.
